Hip-Hop Legends To Participate In Monthlong Hip-Hop Festival In Queens!

Hip-hop legends, including DJ Kool Herc, Marley Marl and others will star in a hip-hop awareness group, dubbed “31 Days of Non-Stop Hip Hop.” As part the series, which includes a different hip-hop event every day, Queens’s locals will get to meet the music pioneers, learn about hip-hop history and study break dancing moves. At some of the events, the organizers will ask Queens Residents to share their photos, newspaper clips and other memorabilia, which will become part of the Hip-Hop Elements project, an attempt to create a hip-hop archive documenting its history in the borough. The hip-hop marathon will kick off on May 1, all events are free and open to the public, with the exception of the May 1 event, which is open to teens only and a free ticket is required to attend.
